[Hanwu Huo Wei] There are trees in the mountains

Chapter 13

The Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie followed the advice of his second king, Zhao Xin, and moved the royal court to Mobei, and sent troops south to harass the border of the Han Dynasty every year to burn, kill and loot.

In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Liu Che sent General Wei Qing and General Huo Qubing to lead 14 cavalry each to divide the troops into east and west and go deep into Mobei.Then mobilize [-] infantry and [-] civilian horses to transport supplies and ensure logistical supplies.

The emperor ordered Huo Qubing to fight the Grand Chanyu, and allowed him to select soldiers who dared to go deep into the army before the general, and did not equip him with a lieutenant general, but only let him choose the school lieutenant he was familiar with.

The whole army was about to leave, and a Hun soldier was captured on the border. From his mouth, he learned that Shan Yu had heard the news and had gone east.Regardless of the scruples of changing generals just before the battle, Liu Che ordered Huo Qubing to leave Daijun and Wei Qing to leave Dingxiang.

After the army crossed the desert, they captured the scouts of the Xiongnu, and under torture, they found out that Yi Zhixie was in the direction of Wei Qing, and that in the direction of Huo Qubing's department was Zuo Xianwang's department.

At this time, the two armies had traveled more than a thousand miles, and even if they changed again, they would not be able to catch up. Wei Qing's [-] cavalry were left over by Huo Qubing. Facing the [-] Xiongnu cavalry ahead, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Wei Qing responded calmly, surrounded Wu Gang's chariots and assigned [-] cavalry to fight with the Xiongnu. He ordered the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi to lead the troops to detour from the east road to the back of Shanyu, so that they and the army formed a pincer attack.Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, Li Guangpan finally became a general, but he was ordered to carry out a flanking attack. He accepted the military order and left with resentment, lost his way on the way and could not join the army.

The Han army fought with the Xiongnu and suffered heavy casualties. Yi Zhixie took advantage of the dark to escape from the gap surrounded by the Han army in a mule cart.

In this battle, Wei Qing's troops beheaded more than [-] enemy heads, and traveled to Zhenyan Mountain to obtain a large amount of supplies from the Xiongnu in Zhao Xincheng.

On the way back to the army, Wei Qing was in the big tent thinking about how to write this military report that he had escaped from the Xiongnu Shanyu, and although he was victorious, he was still defeated. After hearing the report from Chang Shi, Li Guang killed himself.

The ink dripping from the nib of the pen blurred the bamboo slips, and the words written in front of it could no longer be read clearly.Wei Qing slowly put down the pen, closed his eyes and his eyelashes trembled, feeling bitter in his heart.

Huo Qubing's troops went northward for more than [-] miles and encountered the Huns Zuo Xianwang's tribe. They killed more than [-] Huns at the cost of losing [-] soldiers.He sacrificed to the sky in Xushan Mountain in Langju, and sacrificed to the land in Guyan Mountain. He chased to the vast sea and returned victorious.

After this battle, there were no more Huns in Monan, and the border of the Han Dynasty was never threatened by the Huns.

Liu Che was overjoyed, and rewarded Huo Qubing's subordinates arbitrarily, and Wei Qing's subordinates escaped from Shan Yubuyi's seal.The post of Da Sima acting as Taiwei was crowned on the General, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing belonged to the same Da Sima.Liu Che also ordered Huo Qubing to be on the same rank as Zhilu and Wei Qing.

Since then, the hussar general has been unmatched in the limelight, and the old general's troops have all turned to the hussar's sect.

……

"What did you say? Say it again!" Holding the teacup, Huo Qubing stammered as he looked at the rough man in front of him with a half-smile and cupped his fists.

"The humble general finally came back with the army, but he was not rewarded because he followed the great general. I beg the general of the hussars to ask for credit for the humble general, and not to be arrogant for the humble general to escape death on the battlefield."

As soon as the words fell, the teacup grazed the man's face loudly and fell beside him.Huo Qubing sneered, and shouted: "Have you forgotten how the great general treated you in the past? Come here, throw me this ungrateful thing!"

"General, you have been wronged!"

The five big and three thick men were thrown out of the military tent by the soldiers like carrying chickens.

"Shoot out all those who come to ask for credit! The ungrateful villains have polluted the general's barracks!" Huo Qubing's eyes were burning and he was panting heavily.

Before Zhao Puonu got the money, he heard Huo Qubing's extremely angry roar inside, which made his hand shaking the curtain in fright.He hid outside and only poked his head in.

Seeing that the floor was in a mess, Huo Qubing pushed over the desks, scrolls and slips rolled all over the floor.He didn't feel it was enough, and was throwing things to vent his anger.

The soldiers around were all winking at Zhao Puonu, asking him to go in and persuade Huo Qubing who was in a rage.Zhao Ponu stared back fiercely.I want to go to you, who dares to provoke the Hussar General who is angry, isn't that courting death!

Everyone around pretended not to notice and remained still. Come on, he was the only one who went.If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?Zhao Puonu wiped the sweat from his brow, straightened his body and walked in.

"Head."

"Get out!" Huo Qubing turned around and said.His face was so gloomy that he could drip water, his eyes were bared with murderous intent, and just one cold look on Zhao Ponu made Zhao Ponu feel as if he was being lingering.

"That...boss, don't be angry, don't be angry..." Zhao Ponu accompanied him with a smile, and took a few steps closer.

Seeing that the person who came was Zhao Puonu, Huo Qubing restrained his anger slightly, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"As soon as I returned to the camp, I saw the general's subordinates being beaten out by the soldiers. Didn't this come to see what's going on?"

"Now that you've seen it, you can go." Huo Qubing gave Zhao Ponu a blank look, and drove him away impatiently.

"Don't worry, boss, tell brother what's going on, maybe brother can give you some advice, right?" Zhao Puonu didn't leave, and accompanied Huo Qubing around the account.

"What idea can you come up with with your brain?" Huo Qubing squinted at Zhao Ponu.

Zhao Puonu has a round face, big eyes and looks very honest, even though he was born as a general, and he was exiled in the barbarian area of ​​the Huns when he was a child.

"Boss, you underestimate your subordinates too much. Don't look at me as a fool, but I think I am quite smart."

Huo Qubing ignored Zhao Puonu's bragging, but his face flushed red because of what happened just now.Zhao Puonu kept asking, and when he got bored, he explained the cause and effect.

Zhao Puonu stopped smiling after hearing this, and frowned and said hesitantly, "Boss, of course you didn't know that you stayed in the camp when you came back from the class teacher. It has been rumored that you have stolen the general's limelight, and you are still behind." Make a stumbling block, say you are..." I didn't dare to continue.

"What is it?"

Zhao Ponu looked at Huo Qubing's angry face and saw him questioning, so he hesitated and said: "You are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who came to bite back when your wings became stiff due to uncle's favor..."

He thought that Huo Qubing would be furious again, but he was silent for a long time.Zhao Ponu raised his head and glanced at Huo Qubing, only to see that Huo Qubing's face was pale and his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.The spirited eyes of the past could not see the vigor of the past, only a dead silence remained.

That's right, dead silence.In Huo Qubing's eyes, it was even more desolate than a desert without people.At least there are yellow sand and thorns in the desert, but Huo Qubing only sees emptiness in his eyes.

"Boss, boss?" Zhao Puonu was taken aback.

Huo Qubing quickly turned his back to Zhao Puonu, and asked in a low voice after a long time, "Does the general know?"

"heard."

Huo Qubing took his saber, turned around and walked out of the tent without any hesitation.Zhao Puonu knew something was going to happen, so he held Huo Qubing tightly from behind, and called his own soldiers to stop Huo Qubing from leaving.

"Bold! Zhao Puonu, you still don't let go!"

"Don't let it go! Boss, don't do stupid things!" Zhao Puonu said with tears in his voice.

"What stupid thing did I do! I'm going to ask my uncle to apologize!"

"The general knows that you are not feeling well, so he asked me to stop you and not let you go!"

Huo Qubing stopped struggling, the soldiers let go of him and retreated.Huo Qubing mechanically turned around and asked, "Uncle asked you to come?"

Zhao Puonu nodded: "He specifically asked me to bring you a message. It was not easy for his old subordinates to go through life and death with him. They finally managed to get their lives back from Mobei, but because of him they were not rewarded. He asked you Treat those subordinates who turned to you kindly for him." After speaking, he took out a small scroll of bamboo slips, Huo Qubing took it and opened it, and it was indeed Wei Qing's notes.

Every word and every word except the previous greetings and comfort, the rest is to speak for his subordinates and let Huo Qubing take them in.They obviously abandoned you and left, why do you treat you like this, uncle!

You still care so much about your subordinates, but why do you always abandon your sincerity for illness!

I am your reliance!

Huo Qubing slowly squatted down, closed his eyes tightly and refused to read every single word on the bamboo slips.There were teardrops hanging on the thick eyelashes, mixed with the sweat dripping from his face, and soaked a pool of deep water on the ground.

Huo Qubing squatted down for a long time without getting up, Zhao Ponu was worried and lightly patted Huo Qubing's shoulder.Unexpectedly, Huo Qubing fell directly to the ground, his face was pale, and his lips were bloody from his own bite.

"Boss! Boss!" He quickly helped Huo Qubing up, his hands were shaking. "Call the military doctor quickly! Go!"

"No!" Huo Qubing stopped sharply, and supported Zhao Ponu to stand up. "I'm fine!"

"Boss, you..."

"Tell the people in the battalion that everything that the general puts down will be collected, and they will be sent to me with a list of their names."

"... promise." Zhao Puonu agreed, and then persuaded: "Boss, you should go see the doctor."

Huo Qubing sat in front of the desk, silently enduring the pain that was accumulating in his mouth patiently. "I see. Don't let other people know what happened just now, especially His Majesty and the General. If it leaks, I'm the only one asking!"

Zhao Ponu had no choice but to agree.
